When asked whether Goo Jai will return to television, he honestly said that TVB has sent scripts to him but he was truly too busy. Who would he like to work with on the series? He joked, "Ching Wan would be the best." Goo Jai honestly said that he still had series contract with TVB, the last time was STEP INTO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) ten years ago. He believed that it will not happen in a year or two since series production will take a long time. What kind of script would attract him? He said, "I like some science fiction subjects. It will be the best if I can take place in coming up with the story or give some suggestions." Goo Jai was asked who was his best television actor favorites. Goo Jai expressed that he has worked with Lai Yiu Cheung on

movies and knew that he was a good actor. As for actresses, Goo Jai honestly said that he rarely watched women series because he would be completely lost if he missed one episode.

Lau Ching Wan revealed that he will soon work on the Johnnie To Kei Fung directed film DEATH OF A HOSTAGE (DUET MING GUM), which was unrelated to To Sir's first film THE ENIGMATIC CASE (BIK SHUI HONG SAN DUET MING GUM). He joked, "If To Sir will remake it it will be very interesting, because it is many years after." Ching Wan expressed that

DEATH will be a modern drama. In it he will play a thief who is mean and evil. Will his emotions have a lot of upheaval? He joked, "To Sir's movies are rarely like this, but many people are offering me tragic films. I don't want it to be too tragic." He was reluctant not because his emotions would not settle but only that sometimes he would ask himself

why! Ching Wan said that he only knew Denise Ho wan Si and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) will take place. Ching Wan had no idea whether To Sir will make his friend Anita Mui Yim Fong's protege Ho Wan Si the female lead as reported.
